The longer they are alive the less novel life will become. Use their curiosity to train them. <br/><br/>Their brain is getting more and more synced up with reality each time they experience something new, expose them to things in a supportive way so they trust you and build a working relationship. <br/><br/>Dogs love playing and they love learning and if you can do both at the same time, all the better. <br/><br/>Don&#39;t waste the time when their brain is still plastic enough to avoid issues. 2024-12-31T19:01:51Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsq6usz8jst0ps7f00apen73zkhcydzjvs66djh7hxh7lfsxqszrtszyp09t9arxppaqaff737fdqnyty7al4agpw3nym8rn4m5v42m0jk62rezfs5 Baby 🍁 Maple 🍁 says good morning and Happy Dec 23. #morning #MapleBaby #puppies #pupsofmastodon #puppy<br/> <img src="https://media.cutie.city/media_attachments/files/113/702/851/442/269/848/original/b350b6a88c075393.jpg"> <br/> 2024-12-23T15:30:28Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs082g74gr3qfsu4gepjq05agglqhfnqznn77uhscdjg9xsj877cvqzyp09t9arxppaqaff737fdqnyty7al4agpw3nym8rn4m5v42m0jk62ype9sq 4 years ago I convinced the HOA board to leave the leaf litter for the insects to winter in. <br/><br/>Now every summer we have so many fireflies. <br/><br/>New guy just moved in and asked if he should rake up the common areas. <br/><br/>A literal child stood up to say that he shouldn&#39;t because they will not have summer fireflies if he does. <br/><br/>So proud of the little one starting to advocate for the world they want to live in. <br/><br/>6 years told and already learning how to get things done. <br/><br/>The leaves will stay. 2024-12-22T17:07:31Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsgejrm4v99j82unpj8p4xytwy6wnc367n2auezxa243cumvp9dyaszyp09t9arxppaqaff737fdqnyty7al4agpw3nym8rn4m5v42m0jk62jlnz0d Hello.

They do not care that you know they are lying. <br/><br/>You will never be able to play &#34;gotcha&#34; with them because they stand by nothing, believe nothing, and have use for nothing except a constant need to hurt people and destroy systems of accountability that get in the way of more power. <br/><br/>They will tell any lie they can to attempt to continue to hurt people and destroy systems of accountability. <br/><br/>They choose the actions first then the justifications second, and the will continue to escalate the situation to gain more and more power. <br/><br/>They don&#39;t have a vision for society, they have a list of shit they need to break and people they need to get rid of so they can have the power they want. <br/><br/>That&#39;s it. <br/><br/>Nothing they do is working towards anything but trying to centralize power. <br/><br/>Hope this is helpful for you to understand what&#39;s going on. 2024-12-13T21:02:10Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsw5q8rf7ezkh3rmf876ckvdkfueyh89rcuyxm9xrxj3dpky4gddmgzyp09t9arxppaqaff737fdqnyty7al4agpw3nym8rn4m5v42m0jk62gnc47c The slow-rising central horror of &#34;Watergate&#34; is not that it might grind down to the reluctant impeachment of a vengeful thug of a president whose entire political career has been a monument to the same kind of cheap shots and treachery he finally got nailed for, but that we might somehow fail to learn something from it.<br/><br/>Hunter S.

They need to play games with you and talk to you and for you to care about their health and well being. <br/><br/>They are not little props that you buy clothes for and then ignore until it&#39;s time for them to be cute on your Instagram again. <br/><br/>If you are abandoning your responsibility to socialize your child, that&#39;s neglect. <br/><br/>Children are human beings with social, emotional, physical, and mental health needs. They are not tiny adults and should not be consuming hours and hours and hours of Tiktok. 2024-11-20T16:34:13Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqswkp7j86j278ecv53fnflrad00f6m8a9mnct8r67778ft0gy0l3lszyp09t9arxppaqaff737fdqnyty7al4agpw3nym8rn4m5v42m0jk62nphtps The truth is that nearly nobody has the capacity to care about tomorrow when they are struggling to get through today. <br/><br/>The truth is that humans need each other. Individualism is the reason kids go hungry, why people don&#39;t have homes. <br/><br/>The truth is that the &#34;I got mine, fuck you&#34; attitude is the reason we can&#39;t have nice things. <br/><br/>The truth is the people in your community that are hurting need you more than ever right now, at the very time many are deciding to abandon them. <br/><br/>The truth is all the hard work I&#39;ve been doing isn&#39;t enough and I feel like the Mother Hen trying to make bread with everyone while nobody wants to help me, except unlike her I still want to share my bread with you. <br/><br/>I still want everyone to feel safe, warm, loved and supported in their life. <br/><br/>Solidarity to everyone who is still fighting.

It was too easy to swipe notifications away accidentally and then she wasn&#39;t sure how to get them back. <br/><br/>I made a shortcut on her phone screen directly to her notifications history. <br/><br/>She was so thankful. <br/><br/>I advised the desk lady that I had made the change on her phone and would be willing to come back if she needed me again. <br/><br/>Lady at the desk was like &#34;you want to come back Tuesday and help some more people with this? They all have this issue.&#34; <br/><br/>Ok.
